معرفی
Vinod Ramgolam is an Associate Research Scientist in Medicine (Cardiology) at the Yale School of Medicine. His research focuses on immunology, autoimmune diseases, and molecular mechanisms underlying multiple sclerosis. He investigates therapeutic targets like interferon-β (IFN-β) and cytokines (e.g., IL-17, IL-23), with contributions to understanding Th17 cell differentiation and B cell biology. His work also includes gene therapy applications, such as AAV vector-mediated gene transfer in ocular tissues. Collaborations with researchers like Dr. Sanja Marković-Plese and Dr. Jeffrey Bender highlight interdisciplinary efforts in immunology and translational medicine.
